@philly_p - Triumph

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NC7m3d9qNHI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The message in this new Philly P track really hit home. This content reminds me of a time in Hip Hop when it was cool to talk about real life. So much of the music being put out these days is just plain old swag rap. Triumph is the total opposite of that. I must say it feels good to know that cats have not forgot about where we came from as a people. Major #salute on this one fam! Way to keep shit authentic. THE STRUGGLE DOES LIVE ON.......STAY PHILTHY!

What's up everyone. Welcome back for another installment. This go around we got the newest from Rikk Reighn. Slappin is a track is from Rikk's latest project "BYTCH IM LOKAL". Some time ago this cat released a vid for GOOD & THE BAD which he premiered on wshh. Alot of people from the town need to shoot they self in the face. There was waaaay too much hate coming from the home team. I can't say the track was my fav. The vid was crispy as fuck and Rikk and his squad spent real cake on a world star slot. This is something only a few can do on the local scene. Hell cats don't even get a wshh slot period let alone a $3k -4k placement. My whole point is even I see you fuck niggas hating out here and it's despicable! Any who this is one of the best joints on the CD and Manny hooked up the vid. This vid is just one more piece of evidence that solidifies we out here working #salute STAY PHILTHY!

OHHA is so important when it comes to Ohio hip hop as a whole. Mainly because the lane they occupy serves as a bridge between all of the states many rap scenes. Their very presence forces aspiring talent to think about the bigger picture when putting out content and doing shows. STAY PHILTHY!

Not too long ago I posted Niq's most recent project "BANG MY SHIT". 23 is one of my favorite songs on the cd. The video quality is major. Got to say i'm loving how local artist are stepping up their video game. #bang STAY PHILTHY!

PSA.............Presentation IS everything @cridiemac @hensleyurban please post and rt

Being a local/unsigned artist is really tough. Not only do you have to go through the ups and downs of putting the project together. One must deal with struggle of hand to hand distribution tactics. Bottom line "It's a cold world". Which brings me to the topic at hand. The above cd is fictional but it serves as a great visual aid. Recently I attended the annual Hip Hop Expo held every year in the convention center. After taking a quick smoke on the balcony I made my way back to the ballroom. Before I could reach for the door I was stopped by a cat who wanted me to check out his music. He proceeded to tell me he was selling his product for three dollars, then he showed me his cd. I was disgusted at the sight of his product. As I said the above pic is just an example but it's pretty spot on to what he showed me. I can think of numerous excuses I have given people with sub par product over the years, but on this particular day I couldn't bring myself to say anything but what was on my mind. Long story short I told him that he might want to invest more money into his product if he wants more consumers to take him seriously. I even took the time to mention @cridiemac and @hensleyurban two people that I know could get him together with great cd duplication services. Although he kept eye contact with me I doubt my words changed his life or made his day. For me the encounter was a breath of fresh air. I felt I was doing the city and the game a service by telling this man to get his shit in order. If you are an artist and you reading this don't be so quick to give me the blah treatment. Aside from visual aids I brought some great insight along for the ride. If MC Shitnutz is selling his music on a cvs stock blanks accopanied by marker print, what are the chances it sounds good. What are the chances he went to a good studio to record and mix? Is it even mastered!? The minute I set eyes on such a product these are the exact thoughts I began to process. Unsigned/indie artist must understand that to a custie the way your package looks speaks volumes about the way your project sounds in the deck. Artist dont be so eager to put out music that you shoot yourself in the foot. Be professional! STAY PHILTHY!
